South County Neighborhood College Now Taking Applications

South County Neighborhood College Now Taking Applications

Beginning Thursday, Sept. 23, the Department of Systems Management for
Human Services, Region One, the Lorton Library and the South County
Federation are sponsoring the “South County and Lorton Neighborhood
College.” At the neighborhood college, interested residents will learn
how to collaborate with others who live or work in Southern Fairfax
County to strengthen their neighborhoods and build a strong sense of
community.

Through a combination of panel presentations, hands-on activities, group
discussions and fieldwork, the Neighborhood College will provide an
opportunity to learn more about local communities and the local county
government. The Neighborhood College is free, but applicants must be
willing to commit to attending the eight sessions during the seven-week
period. Light meals will be provided. Classes run from 6:30 to 9 p.m. (on
Thursdays) and are held in the Lorton Library, 9520 Richmond Highway,
Lorton. One Saturday session will be held at the South County Center,
8350 Richmond Highway, Alexandria, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Classes are
scheduled through Nov. 4.
